I teach at a small liberal arts college. A few years ago I started a once-a-semester gathering for our female majors and minors, called Women in Philosophy, mostly to build community over a dinner, but sometimes we talked specifically about gender issues in the discipline and about classroom climate. This year a student asked that we change the name of the group to “Women and Allies in Philosophy” to include people whose relationship to identifying as a woman is more complicated. How can we be more inclusive of trans and gender queer students, which we very much want to do, without opening the doors to men who identify as “allies”? The concern is that doing the latter may recreate in the group the very dynamics that we feel are sometimes harmful to female students in other contexts. Any suggestions for a name change that indicates the direction we would like to go? We would be most appreciative. Thank you.
